Question: What do you think of Stephanie Meyer's style of writing!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think that she writes really well for her audience!. It captivates almost everyone who reads it!. It is easy to understand but also more advanced then some books!. I personally really like it!. In any other style, the book wouldn't have been nearly as good, I think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's awful!.
Her writing is on a fifth grade reading level, for heavens sake!. It's simplistic, amateur, and redundant!. She describes the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again (seriously, how many times did we hear about Edward's perfect marble chest!?)!. She uses the same words over and over and over and over and over again (chagrin, amber, marble, cold, etc)!.

Her writing is unbearably passive and SO fluffy!. Most of the things that happen in the Twilight series are unnecessary; the books are filled with unimportant minutia that has no bearing on the plot!. She can't just get to the point-- she has to drag it out and describe it fifty thousand times!. Part of good writing is to be able to express a lot of thought and/or description in a few concise statements instead of taking up half the fricking page describing what a character looks like!. That's how you are expected to write in college, and that's how most classic authors wrote!.

Her writing is also SO dramatic!. She spends the entire book leading up to the climax, then when it happens, she goes all melodramatic!. You know how there is an excerpt on the back of the book!? Those always make me laugh because they are SO dramatic!.

I hate her writing!. She writes like a 14 year old and her writing is way too modern for my taste!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really like her style of writing!. It's descriptive and yet to the point, with no beating around the bush!. Not to say the plot lines are plain and easily figured out, but she doesn't include chapters and chapters of fluff just to introduce one plot event!. Personally, I think The Host is better written than any of the Twilight series, but Stephenie's writing style is good throughout all!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like her ideas and I find her books compelling but in the same way I find Jane Greene's books compelling: they are very easy reads and are a guilty pleasure to some extent!. I'm eighteen, I know I should be reading things that are more challenging than Twilight, but on the other hand, if you do read things that challenge you and you occasionally pick up Proust or Shakespeare for pleasure, I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying her style as something quite easy to dip in and out of!.

i think shes great at creating a story, but her literature isnt too good!.!.!.

but dont listen to me!. im just another person!. she has so many fans from her books, so she must be amazing (tho for certain harry potter is better)!.

~total harry potter fan!!~

have a great day!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love it! I think she is very creative, and she is different!. She isn't like any other kind of author at all!. She goes far into depth, and she has equal thoughts as well with dialogue!.

Here comes the thumbs down!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's juvenile!. She uses a limited vocabulary, and she tends to repeat the same thing over and over!.

[[Based on Twilight, New Moon, and Breaking Dawn!. I've never read Eclipse or The Host!.]]Www@QuestionHome@Com

i like it the story lines, but like someone has already said she uses the same words over and over!. throughout the whole book on every pages someone cringes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think her style of writing is alright but with the Twilight series I think the books went from really good (Twilight) to really bad (Braking Dawn)!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
